Welcome to the Metro Boston
Recovery Learning Community
We are a peer-run community in the Metro Boston Area for people who have been impacted by trauma, oppression, discrimination, addiction, mental health struggles, extreme emotional states, psychiatric diagnoses, and encountered other challenges.​ We seek to offer non-clinical, mutual peer-to-peer support in an inclusive and trauma-informed environment.
​We are dedicated to providing access to opportunities and resources to assist people in finding their own self-determined paths to emotional wellness.
We provide peer-to-peer support, peer-facilitated support groups, fun events, peer bridging, advocacy, and education to support people wherever they are in their wellness journey.
Our Recovery Centers operate on a drop-in basis.
Everyone who enters our Recovery Centers is welcome and can become an instant member. You can attend an activity, join a group, or receive one-on-one peer support from our staff, all of whom are Certified Peer Specialists or Recovery Coaches with their own lived experience. We are here to help you make connections and feel comfortable so your visit is a healing and rewarding experience.
Our supports are mutual, non-clinical and holistic.
Essential to our work at the MBRLC is acknowledging that everyone’s path to emotional wellness and recovery looks different. Each person is the best expert on themselves, based on their own lived experience.​ We seek to minimize power differentials and offer support that is person-driven, honors self-determination, and focuses on personal strengths and resilience.
Our Recovery Centers are community-driven.
Our goal is to listen to the needs and desires of our community members and then to provide specific groups, classes, and activities based on their input.
At the core of everything we do is our desire to help people thrive.
​​
In our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and racial equity, we strive to build a healing community that is free from discrimination, stigma, and oppression. We are intentionally centered around relationships and acknowledge that every interaction is an opportunity for learning and increased connection among our community members and employees.
All MBRLC Recovery Center services, groups, classes, events, and activities are FREE, inclusive, and no insurance or referral is needed!
